Gyeonggi-do Takes Steps for Credit Recovery of Welfare Blind Spot Households... Signs Business Agreement with Credit Recovery Committee

Gyeonggi Province has rolled up its sleeves to support credit recovery for households in welfare blind spots.

On the 4th, Gyeonggi Province signed a written business agreement with the Credit Recovery Committee, announcing that when Gyeonggi residents receive personal debt adjustment or financial counseling through the Credit Recovery Committee and are identified as households in welfare blind spot crises, prompt welfare support will be provided by linking them to the Gyeonggi Emergency Welfare Crisis Counseling Hotline (010-4419-7722).

Gyeonggi Province supports livelihood, housing, and medical expenses for neighbors in difficulty reported to the Emergency Welfare Crisis Counseling Hotline if they qualify for existing welfare programs such as Basic Livelihood Security, Near-Poverty Class, or Emergency Welfare.

Even if they do not qualify for existing welfare programs, the province plans to connect them to private sponsorship welfare services as needed to resolve crisis situations.

To prevent a recurrence of the ‘Suwon Three Mothers Incident’ and to guarantee welfare rights for residents in crisis, Gyeonggi Province is currently promoting public-private cooperation including ▲Buddhism, Catholicism, Christianity: posting promotional materials and conducting education on discovering and reporting welfare blind spots ▲Gyeonggi Pharmaceutical Association: producing and distributing promotional stickers to pharmacies in the province ▲Real Estate Agents Association: distributing promotional materials to licensed real estate agents ▲Small Business Federation: website banners, flyers for members, and KakaoTalk promotions ▲Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education: posting notices on the website and promoting via apps to parents ▲National Health Insurance Service Incheon-Gyeonggi Regional Headquarters: discovering and reporting during long-term care grade assessments ▲Korea Electric Power Corporation Gyeonggi Headquarters and Northern Gyeonggi Headquarters: discovering and reporting during electricity meter readings ▲Social welfare institutions and organizations: discovering and reporting during social welfare work.

Park Geun-tae, Director of Welfare Projects at Gyeonggi Province, said, "Although Gyeonggi Province operates a welfare blind spot discovery support system through cooperation with related organizations and groups, there are limits to public organizations alone, so the interest and cooperation of neighbors are urgently needed." He urged, "If you find neighbors in crisis, please contact the Gyeonggi Emergency Welfare Crisis Counseling Hotline (010-4419-7722), Gyeonggi Call Center (031-120), or the Eup/Myeon/Dong Administrative Welfare Center."
